'Celebrate Scotland' at British Council

I was reading the Independent on Sunday when a marching struck up a beat outside. This was no normal band, it had this exquisite screeching instrument.

When I went outside I realised it was a 6 bagpipers causing that sound, accompanied by a snare drummer and a bass drummer, all in smart matching uniforms.

Some BC staff were handing out flyers promoting the 'Celebrate Scotland' month, that explains the small tartan flags i've been seeing stuck to the desks since Monday.

There are a hosts of exciting events all month long, with some cool contests to be won. Prizes include a trip to the Highlands (Scotland, not Genting), and stuff sponsored by MPH and Times.

So if you think you know your Macbeth and your Rankin, surf over the website.
